Many states allow drivers to select a message for their cars' license plates. The license plate on my old Honda Civic featured the letters MSTRO - the musical term "maestro" or "master".
I went online and found some entertaining religious license plate messages. Apparently, there are a lot of people whose license plates feature the word THEIST, and there are quite a few that feature an opposing point of view - the word ATHEIST.
A car in Texas sports the message HESRZN - "He's risen". I imagine that the Committee on Gratitude would like the Alabama license plate that features this message: BGR8FL - "be grateful." And I suspect that Pete Steinbrenner would endorse the plates that say TITHE.
The state of Vermont is not exactly part of the Bible Belt, so I was surprised to find a Vermont plate bearing this message JN36TN - John 3:16.
After "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" and "The Lord is my shepherd," there are probably no verses of scripture better known than "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" or "You must be born again," both from the 3rd chapter of John.
You see them at every Super Bowl or World Series' game or at pretty much every big gathering of people.
There is no better day to think about what it means to be born again than a day on which we have a baptism, and today we are baptizing Richard Lawney.
However, I suspect that the connection between "you must be born again" and baptism may not be immediately obvious. In fact, I am afraid that there are some Christians who think that baptism, at least as Episcopalians practice it, and being born again are incompatible.
Let's look at the message of the third chapter of John.
Nicodemus, a Pharisee and leader of the Jews "came to Jesus by night." Keep in mind that John is heavily symbolic. John communicates his messages indirectly. So when we are told that Nicodemus came to Jesus "by night", we can be sure that something is up. Light and dark are major categories in John.
At the very beginning of John's gospel, it says that Jesus is "the light of all people... the light shining in the darkness."
John writes about a world hovering between the light and the dark. By telling us that Nicodemus visited Jesus at night, John is saying that Nicodemus is in the dark spiritually as well as physically. What else might it mean that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night? Do you think that Nicodemus might have been afraid? He had a position to maintain; he was a leader. What would it look like for this Pharisee, this leader, to come to Jesus? It would be as though a member of the Christ Church vestry went to one of the seedier blocks of Charleston Ave to visit Madam Olga, psychic visionary.
Bishop Michael Curry of North Carolina says that Nicodemus must have been the first Episcopalian. Nicodemus is just a little wary of this Jesus character. He doesn't want to seem too interested in him, so he goes to him at night. Curry also christened Nicodemus Nick at Nite.
I think Nicodemus was a southerner. He was so polite. He doesn't immediately begin telling Jesus why he has come. He says, "Rabbi (in the south we would say "Sir"), we know that you are a teacher who has come from God." Nicodemus compliments Jesus. In the south, every conversation begins with a dozen questions about how your family members are doing. Nicodemus goes on, "No one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God."
But Jesus, I'm sorry to say, responds very much like a yankee. No pleasantries for him! "Very truly, I tell you no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above." Now here you need to know that the phrase "born from above" can also be translated "born again" and that's the way it has usually been translated, and that is how I will translate it for this sermon.
Nicodemus was mystified. The idea of being born again was repulsive to him. Jesus had a way of saying things like that! Nicodemus had been born a Jew; he belonged to one of the 12 tribes of Israel. He had a long and impressive heritage. He was a member of the Pharisaic party. No greater heritage was possible. And along came Jesus telling him that he had to go back to the very beginning, even before the beginning. If Nicodemus were born again, there would be no way to know how things may turn out. He might even be a Gentile the next time round.
Jesus goes on: "No one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit... The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Now here is where this story connects with Richard's baptism this morning. Some say that it is impossible to reconcile infant baptism and the idea that we must be born again? Why in the world would little Richard need to be born again? He's not even a year old. Why does he need to start all over again so soon?
I want to suggest that Jesus' message in the 3rd chapter of John operates on a number of different levels.
Looked at one way, Jesus is saying that every single one of us needs to be born again spiritually. All of us are born physically in the natural course of things, but in addition to our physical birth, we also need a spiritual birth.
It is on this level that that infant baptism makes perfect sense. Richard had the good sense to be born an Episcopalian. He had the even better sense to be born into a wonderful family, the family of Melissa and Eugene and Mark and Eugene, Jr. Today we are claiming God's promise on Richard's behalf that those who are baptized in water and in the name of the Trinity are born spiritually into God's family. Having been born once into a wonderful human family, Richard is now born a second time into a spiritual family that extends throughout time and space. He becomes a brother to Christians all over the world and throughout time. Welcome to the family, Richard!
But Jesus' words in John 3 also operate on another level. I want to take Jesus quite literally, even more literally than my evangelical sisters and brothers: "You must be born again..."
Birth is not a sudden event; it is a long process. Human births are preceded by nine months of gestation. In elephants and whales, gestation takes almost 2 years. I'm pretty sure the human race would die out if our gestation took that long!
What do you suppose is the gestational period that precedes spiritual birth?
Writer Mary Antin says, "We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later.... Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth."
That is why I cannot believe that the only way to become a Christian is to have a sudden, emotional conversion experience.
Once when gave a talk at a Rotary Club in Scotland where I lived for a couple of years, a member of the club asked me a question after my talk. "Is true that in America they believe in instant conversion?" I said, "In America, we believe in instant everything!" Deferred gratification takes way too long!
I also do not believe that spiritual rebirth happens only to individuals; I believe that institutions can also go through a kind of spiritual rebirth. I hope and pray that Christ Church is going through a time of spiritual rebirth. But as Mary Antin says, " We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later.... Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth."
It takes time. To shift the metaphor, we are turning around a vast ocean liner. We want to sail it in a new direction. This is not something that is done all at once.
And it may be painful and confusing at times. What I would ask you to do is to cooperate with the Spirit that blows where she will. We hear the sound of the Spirit and we see the effects of her work. We see lives being changed; we see new projects getting started; we see old ways of doing things being changed. That is all the work of the Spirit.
We cooperate with the Spirit by praying. We cooperate with the Spirit by being flexible, because if we're not flexible, a great gust of Spirit wind might suddenly knock us on our backsides!
But the most important way that we cooperate with the Spirit is by being willing to let the Spirit get into our hearts and renew them.
We can only be baptized once. We are born once into our human families and we are born once into the Christian family. But I suspect that we may be born again and again. Or perhaps the other translation of those words is more appropriate now: We are born from above again and again.
Life gets stale. We get stuck in a rut. We become sluggish and depressed. We need the Spirit to grab us and shake us up. Maybe what's really happening at Christ Church is that we are being born anew or from above one more time.
I suspect that Christ Church has been born anew more than once and that it will be born again many more times in its long life. I feel privileged to be a kind of midwife to its rebirth in my time. And I invite you to join me as we open our minds and hearts to the new thing that the Spirit is doing among us.

As an asynchronous notification mechanism in the POSIX standard, a signal is sent by an operating system to a process to notify it of a certain event. When a signal is generated, the target process's execution is interrupted by an operating system, and the signal is delivered to the process's signal handler routine. One can define and register a custom signal handler or rely on the default signal handler.
In Perl, signals can be caught and handled by using a global %SIG hash variable. This %SIG hash variable is keyed by signal numbers, and contains references to corresponding signal handlers. Therefore, if you want to define a custom signal handler for a particular signal, you can simply update the hash value of %SIG for the signal.
Here is a code snippet to handle interrupt (INT) and termination (TERM) signals using a custom signal handler.
$SIG{INT} = \&signal_handler; $SIG{TERM} = \&signal_handler; sub signal_handler { print "This is a custom signal handler\n"; die "Caught a signal $!"; }
Other valid hash values for %SIG are 'IGNORE' and 'DEFAULT'. When an assigned hash value is 'IGNORE' (e.g., $SIG{CHLD}='IGNORE'), the corresponding signal will be ignored. Assigning 'DEFAULT' hash value (e.g., $SIG{HUP}='DEFAULT') means that we will be using a default signal handler.

La Liga giant Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone's contract has been reduced by two years. The contract of the 46-year-old manager will now expire in 2018 instead of 2020.
Simeone has been in charge of Atletico Madrid since 2011 and has led the club to one La Liga title and two Champions League finals during his tenure. However, the former player of the club has revealed that the decision was taken in the best interest for the Los Colchoneros, as reported by Football Espana.

"We have spoken with the club and have made the best decision for the club. We have decided this agreement together, the situation is the same as it has been. Stay calm – we're fine!" Simeone said.
The man from Buenos Aires, Argentina agreed that the situation has been portrayed out of proportion by the media. However, his head and heart still lies with Atletico Madrid. He has asked the fans to stay calm and believe in the club.
The rumors were fuelled by Simoene's statement that he has taken the club as far as he could after the Champions League 2016 final defeat against city rivals Real Madrid. However, the former defensive midfielder has stayed loyal to the fans of Atletico.

The former Argentina international has also revealed that in two years' time, he and the club can renew the contract and sign a new deal. This will give fresh hopes to the Atletico Madrid supporters who were left devastated by the initial news of contract reduction, according to theguardian.
Simeone's boys face Sporting Gijon in the domestic league on Sunday. They have picked up five points from their first three matches in the La Liga.

U.S. Customs & Border Protection Defends Drone Program
On January 14, the Dallas Morning News published an editorial sharply criticizing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) drone program. Specifically, the editorial stated, "The drone program run by U.S. Customs and Border Protection is more expensive than it is effective. It lacks adequate performance measures and established goals, and has serious limitations." However, on January 19, the paper published a Letter to the Editor from CBP stating the portrayal was inaccurate, and that drones are "a proven, effective surveillance technology enhancing CBP's operational capabilities and increasing our awareness along the nation's borders and coasts."

Actress Emma Watson took a two-month crash course in horse riding for her upcoming role in The Queen Of The Tearling.
The Harry Potter star plays Princess Kelsea Glynn, the movie's heroine, and is also executive producer of the film after falling in love with the novel by Erika Johansen.
Previous reports suggested the role calls for her to add horse riding to her onscreen talents, and now Emma has recalled how she had just two months to master the skill but absolutely loved saddling up her steed.
"I just learned to horse ride for my last film," she tells British TV show This Morning. "That was pretty intense. I had to not just sort of, like, walk around on it, I had to really, like, gallop.
"I had two months. They would normally say it would take six months to learn to be a confident horse rider so, you know, it was a quick process, but I actually really enjoyed it."

I only met Chau once in Belgium, where we were slated to complete a Master's program at KU Leuven, but she was faster to leave the program than I was! Luckily before she left we connected online and I realized that we had loads in common – Currently Bay Area-based, Chau is a two-time study abroad veteran (like yours truly), having studied in Taiwan and in Barcelona, and is a freelance writer for various online publications. She also writes up a storm on her WordPress blog, The Traveling Cherub, where she writes about travel, musings, culture, and food. Sound familiar? And, fun fact, she also spent middle school being homeschooled on a commune in rural Missouri with her Vietnamese-American mother! I met up with Chau on my first day ever in San Francisco (exactly one week ago!) where we clearly had lots to chat about, and being a bilingual Vietnamese-American, I recruited her for a feature on Conversations with Real Live Bilinguals. So please let me have the pleasure of introducing to you Chau, a fellow language-lover, world traveler, writer extraordinaire, foodie, and krav maga addict!
What's your name (accents, characters and all)?
Lê, Diễm-Châu Sarah-Sophia
Where were you born?
Biloxi, Mississippi
What's your mother tongue? What other languages do you speak?
Vietnamese; English followed very quickly after when I was about 4 or 5. I speak some Mandarin and Spanish as well.
Where did you grow up?
I spent about a decade in Biloxi, and moved to Portland, OR where I attended high school and college. I don't consider Biloxi my "hometown" since my education, friends, and memories all remain in Portland, as well as cultural teachings.
When/how did you learn to speak English? Was it a hard and painful process?
English came very organically, even though my mom made specific effort to speak to me only in Vietnamese as a child. She came to the United States when she was about 10 years old, and picked it up quickly. She knew that growing up in the States would be enough exposure to English that there was no way I could NOT learn it; she was more concerned about how much Vietnamese I would remember once I fully integrated into American culture. So even though my first language was Vietnamese, I organically began speaking English at 4 or 5 without a problem, and it quickly became my first natural language.
What language do you think in? Dream in?
Definitely English. I dream, think, muse, and argue with myself all in English. It takes a lot of effort to now think in Vietnamese. However, I DO count in Vietnamese – it's a lot easier – one syllable for each number.
What sort of things do you associate with your mother tongue? What about with the other languages?
Food names, my grandparents…I still use Vietnamese to express hunger or basic needs (to my family). At home, we speak "Vinglish," mixing both languages up, like "Con đi take a shower," which pretty much means, "I'm (the child – Vietnamese has different pronouns depending on who you're addressing) going to 'take a shower.'" If I'm arguing or getting impassioned with my family, then I revert to Vietnamese – it's odd, because it feels more expressive and less aggressive, even when I'm yelling my head off. Even though I naturally think in English now, I don't feel as authentic speaking English to my family.
What language do you feel most comfortable speaking in?
I'm definitely most proficient in English, speaking, reading, and writing. However, Vietnamese feels more emotionally secure; it's familiar and comforting.
Are there certain things you can't feel you simply can't translate into English? Like what?
So many things! Like pronouns: if I'm speaking to my mother, I call myself "con" which means "child". When speaking to my grandma, I use "chau" (different pronounciation from my name without certain symbols, haha) which means "grandchild". However, the term "chau" isn't isolated to just your grandparents, you would use that term to anyone, related or not, who is the same age as your grandparents. "Em" is used if you're a younger sibling speaking to an older sibling, but it's also the same term you use when talking to your partner – if you're female a/or younger. The male in the relationship would never call himself "em". Don't ask me what you would say if it's a same-sex relationship, the language isn't the most politically correct or modern.
Do your parents speak English? What do you speak with them? With your siblings?
My mother speaks English; she graduated from college in the States. My dad does not, and I have to speak Vietnamese to him.
Do you feel like you have a different personality when you speak one language than when you speak another?
It does. Just by the fact that the pronouns I use are different – I'm already working in a prescribed role with each pronoun I take on. In English, you is you, and I and is I. In Vietnamese, as I speak to my father, I never say "I" because it's taboo, I always say "the child (I)" to him. And in that role, because of the way the language is set up, there are just certain things you can and cannot say. I could never become a boss or an executive using the language that I use with my father, because it's too diminutive.
Do you feel awkward speaking your mother tongue in front of your friends?
I used to as a child, but I got over it in college, especially after meeting so many people from different countries, especially Europe, where it's so common.
Do you think people who speak your mother tongue natively can see that you've spent a long time outside of that country? Do you think you sound foreign in your mother tongue now?
Absolutely, I'm always told that I "Speak quite well – for an American-born Vietnamese, that is." They can hear my accent – because I didn't grow up in Vietnam, I lost a lot of the rhythm that is so unique to a native speaker.
Can you teach us a word/expression in your mother tongue? What does this mean and why did you choose it?
Vietnamese is one of the simplest languages – once you get the hang of it! I'm going to teach you the verb/adverb/everything word that you'll here time and time again, and will give your sentences movement: "di" which literally means "to go".
Di an = go eat/let's eat/eat
Di ngu = to go to sleep/sleep
Di ra ngoai = to go outside/go outside
So many variations and so many ways to use the word "di" I love it! And if you want to make something emphatic, or turn it into a command, you just add "di" at the end of the sentence, like this "Di ngu di," which is "Go to sleep!"
A naughty word?
"Cui bap" which literally means "corn cob." It's pretty much an endearing way to say "stupid."
Please translate "Alice's blog is amaaaazingly interesting and the lazy fox jumped over the brown dog".
Blog cũa Alice hai qúa, va con cáo nhãi qua con chó mầu đên
OR a more updated way, "Blog của Alice hay quá, và con cáo lười nhảy qua con chó nâu."
And anything else you would like to add!
My mom used to pretend that she didn't or understand English for the longest time, in order to convince me to speak only Vietnamese for as long as possible. But of course I was learning it by just being around people and watching TV. When I was about 6 years old, I heard my mom talking to my aunt – in English – and then it hit me. "Mom, you DO speak English." She looked a little sheepish, but obviously was wondering when I'd figure it out. I am ashamed to say that I would probably do the same to my own kids, since that's the only way I've retained this much Vietnamese so far, so it's an effective tactic! (Thanks, mom).
Thanks Chau for participating!

Few words again today, just some pictures to share a place we stopped off at yesterday, because my guests wanted to mix a little history in with their brocante.
Here is the Abbey of St Georges de Boscherville. A 12th century monument that has evolved through history, housed monks, and is today maintained and restored in beautiful detail.
The abbey itself is used each Sunday for Mass and is open to the public the rest of the time, while the remains of the monastery is open to visitors who can walk around freely or choose to be guided.
The gardens are being restored to their original 17th century splendour and it is a joy to wander from the potager to the fruit orchard to the small vineyard on the south facing hill and finally to the scented garden.
You can find more details here, and next time you are in Normandy make a note to stop off and book a guided tour.

Ice Ice Baby
In this revealing video, Wengie whips out a new product that looks a bit different. It is almost too big for her small hands and certainly looks gigantic toward her lovely small face. However, Wengie states that the pretty in pink tool is a facial massage product that you are supposed to chill in the fridge before applying to the face. Wengie shares that the product is a type of cold therapy product that is supposed to do amazing things to the skin. Many celebrities are starting to use this type of skin therapy to make their skin look better. Generally, the products they use are expensive. This product is probably much more reasonably priced.

Oxfam reaction to proposed ceasefire in Aleppo
In response to the proposed 48 hour ceasefire in Aleppo, Andy Baker, Oxfam's Syria Crisis Response manager said:
"Cut off from supplies and heavily bombarded the people of Aleppo have borne the brunt of the fighting and have suffered far too much and too long in this bloody conflict. The recent battles have pushed hundreds of thousands of already vulnerable people to the brink.
"A fully fledged ceasefire observed by all sides in the conflict is necessary to get desperately needed aid into all areas of the city and ensure that essential repairs can be carried out to the water and power supplies.
"While the proposed ceasefire is welcome it must not be a one-off. Regular, sustained pauses in the conflict are necessary to deal with the scale of the suffering, devastation and destruction in the city. So far Russia, whose air force has reportedly been involved in many bombing raids over Aleppo, has agreed to observe the ceasefire but all sides in the conflict must agree to the same 48 hour pause in fighting if help is to reach all those that need it."
Oxfam is helping to provide clean water across battle lines in eastern and western Aleppo as well as elsewhere in Syria. A generator intended to ensure that water is pumped to the city, even when power supplies are cut off has only been able to operate irregularly due to fuel shortages and engineers have been unable to carry out essential repairs to the water infrastructure due to the fighting.

Imagine a fine Friday morning in May. You leave home half an hour early "to help prepare for a presentation". Arriving at your stop, you leave the tube and walk past me "making a phone call" on the corner. I fall in behind you, admiring you legs, the curve of your calf and the way your butt sways as you walk in your heels. Through the slit in your stylish, mid- thigh skirt, in catch an occasional glimpse of what might be a stocking top. We'd agreed you would toss a coin to decide between tights and stockings that morning.
Shortly after you hit the button for lift, I catch up to you. It's not exactly a new lift, and it takes it's time. Complaining about it is regular sport in the building. Will it come soon enough that we have it to ourselves? I work on the floor above you, and no one knows that we've caught each other's eye.
The doors open, you step in towards the controls, while I step past into the back corner. You grin briefly to me over your shoulder, select you floor, my floor, and the three empty floors 4, 5 and 6. Then you take two steps back and feel my chest at your back.
Smoothly, I move your hair over your right shoulder, then place my right hand on you hip then slowly pull your butt back into my crotch. "stockings or tights?" I whisper in your ear, then brush my lips down the side of your neck. "not telling," you giggle in response, then feel finger stroke down your spine from between your shoulder blades, in no rush, on a mission to answer the question at hand.
Slowly, it passes down, over your waistband, and finally reaches the slit in your skirt as the doors open a floor 4. A second later you feel my hand on the back of your thigh, stroking the tops of your tights When we reach your office, you turn to face me, aware of my broad shoulders. I step forward, and whisper "ready to play?" you smile demurely, and I peck you on both cheeks, then kiss you briefly on the lips. Then I pause and gently turn you round and ask you which is your desk. You point it out, so I lead to it and gently lean you over so that both you palms are resting on the desk. "if you move your hands, you owe me a blow job, OK?" You nod.
Now I get to admire you at leisure. No need to rush. I slowly embrace you from behind, pulling your back into my chest, your butt into my crotch. My right hand strokes your right side and cups your breast, then I bury my face in your hair and briefly kiss your neck. "Lovely. But first, let's check you told the truth about the stockings. And remember not to move your hands."
I step back and you gasp briefly with surprise when I place my hands on your knees. "These need to be a little further apart." You are aroused now, breathing deeply as you move your feet in their 3inch heels apart as directed. I'm holding onto one of you thighs now, squeezing gently, then run one of them up under your skirt and feel the stockings tops.
Instinctively, you reach for the zip of your skirt then catch yourself. You aren't supposed to move your hands! You shrug and say in a bedroom voice, "Ah, guess it's a good thing I give great blow jobs" and in a moment the skirt is around your ankles.
I have a huge grin on, and say "Nice. Give a twirl so I can admire the view." There follows a few moments while I admire your legs in their stockings. "And now back to the desk, por favor." While you are standing there facing away from me, I unbutton your blouse and help you remove it. Again I pull you towards me, sweep your hair over your right shoulder, and begin to kiss you neck. My right hand cups you right breast again, and I listen to your breathing to learn what you enjoy. Soon, I feel you nipple rise to meet my hand through your bra.
I've deliberately not touched your butt or pussy, anywhere near your panties. Time to fix that. My hand moves from your breast down your front, stroking towards your pussy. It takes many seconds on its path. You've been waiting for this, wanting this. I told you to play with yourself, but stop half an hour before you expected me, before you could come. You've been simmering away since, thinking about release. I stroke your pussy over your white panties, listening to you breathing, matching your breathing, tracing the outline of the damp spot, feeling your pubes. "My you're wet. Did you cum?" A shake of the head. "Do you want to cum?" You nod. Vigorously.
"Soon, it's not a race." my hand rises up your belly, then descends inside your panties. Gently I massage your outer lips then as your inner lips emerge my middle finger starts to trace it's way from the bottom to the top of your opening,back and forth. By the tenth pass, you're wondering, does he know where the clit is? Then I prove that I do. "There's something we're forgetting," I say, listening to your gasps. "What?" you say, slightly incoherently. A thirty second pause makes you even hotter. Is there going to be an answer? "Theres the small matter of that blow job. Is this your seat?" You realize I want out to crawl under your own desk to give me head.

The EEOC has taken on some of these claims on behalf of employees making religious objections, but this was an accommodation issue. We guided the employer in providing the employee an option of wearing a mask as an alternative accommodation to receiving a flu shot, but the employee refused to wear a mask due to disability. There was no religious objection raised, and we were able to obtain a favorable ruling.

September tax revenues come in $57M over estimates
Topeka ? The state of Kansas enjoyed a prosperous month in September as total tax revenues came in $57.3 million higher than expected, the Kansas Department of Revenue said Monday.
The biggest contributor to the growth came from individual income taxes, which totaled $270.5 million in September, which was $35.5 million, or 15 percent, higher than forecasters had expected.
Kansas lawmakers enacted sweeping increases in state income taxes this year, repealing many of the controversial tax cuts that Republican Gov. Sam Brownback had championed in 2012.
During the first quarter of the new fiscal year, individual income taxes have come in $103 million higher than at the same time last year. State budget officials have estimated that the tax changes would generate $591 million in new revenue this year, but they have also said the state probably won't see the full impact of the tax changes until the April 15 tax filing deadline.
Meanwhile, corporate income taxes came in $11.2 million higher than expected in September, while retail sales taxes beat estimates by $8 million.
"We are going to continue watching and analyzing the trends of revenue receipts in the coming months," Revenue Secretary Sam Williams said in a news release. "I'm pleased to see continued strength in sales tax and corporate income tax revenue."
Total tax revenues have come in $73 million higher than estimated so far this fiscal year, and $142.8 million higher than the first fiscal quarter of 2016.

Premier Risk Management is a fee based risk management & insurance consulting firm that focuses on providing comprehensive insurance and risk management advice to middle market firms throughout the US and internationally. Focusing our expertise in the areas of commercial insurance and employee benefits.
We bring to the table technical skills that enhance the risk management process, proper competition, independence and uncomplicated advice. Our principals are guided and proven by the multitude of everyday practical business experiences spanning from every type of market scenario.
Equipped with a combination of current market understanding and deep industry knowledge, we bring a hands-on approach, knowing that careful attention to your unique operations is the key to successful risk management which results in value creation.
Advocacy is what we do for a living. It is not a side line to supplement other primary sources of income.
We believe so strongly in the value of our service that we guarantee our work.
Premier Risk Management provides Independent Insurance Cost Comparisons by vetting out the buying process to derive the best price while ensuring that coverage and service are not sacrificed.
Our services have consistently helped client companies to achieve insurance premium savings averaging 33%.
We do not sell insurance. 100% of our obligation, fidelity and loyalty go to our clients allowing us to be completely objective and unbiased in the advice we provide.
Our passion and mission is to give clients the best advice and counsel on how to protect their business assets from risk at the least possible cost. We do so by developing creative and well-thought-out insurance and risk management strategies and solutions. Our many years' experience provides efficiency in evaluation of contracts and insurance audits. We have insight on carrier positioning and are able to quickly assess bids during renewal negotiations. We are your advocate for insurance matters. Make us prove it. No risk or obligation. Ask us to review your policies today.
All of these engagements resulted in significant hard dollar premium and insurance related cost reductions ranging from 10 percent to 84 percent. In addition, all of these clients had major coverage shortfalls and deficiencies which were ultimately corrected resulting in better protection for the organization.
As a consequence of our involvement, the responsible party (CEO, CFO, Controller etc.) at the organization for the insurance oversight saved a significant amount of time by our management of the process as well as organizing documentation for future reference and use.
The biggest difference is that Premier Risk Management does not sell or place any insurance products. Therefore, the advice, recommendations and solutions we present to clients are completely objective with no conflict of interest. Organizations turn to an agent/broker to purchase insurance products. Organizations turn to Premier Risk to obtain unbiased, independent, thorough determination of their insurance needs. An insurance agent/broker is paid by the insurance company for the products that they sell, often in the form of commissions and/or over-rides. Premier Risk is paid directly by the client.
No. A good broker will understand the detail behind your business, and will bring you good solutions. However, a broker is balancing his/her attention to your business with attention to the insurance markets. After all, you expect them to present you with thorough, aggressively marketed options at renewal. At Premier Risk, we can help identify new and hidden exposures, work through the internal communications and details that will help the broker provide the most solid coverage. In addition we translate insurance needs and issues between the client and the broker as well as drive down various costing components and premiums.
Absolutely not – we do not replace the services insurance brokers provide and we are not in conflict with insurance brokers. In fact, we look to form a team approach to better service client insurance and risk management needs. Most companies and business owners have long-standing relationships with their brokers, and these relationships are important for many reasons. Premier Risk's priority is to provide clients with an independent, unbiased viewpoint on the overall effectiveness (cost and protection) and administration (process and procedures) of their risk management program. By taking this approach, Premier is able to facilitate communications at all levels, resolve critical issues, and develop productive team efforts to achieve positive results for their clients.
Maybe, however a professional, top quality broker with the client's best interest at hand, will welcome the opportunity to work with a consultant. The broker and the consultant speak the same language. Working together, insurance brokers and consultants engage with senior management to better manage risk for the client. Today's economy and business environment do not allow for adversarial relationships between consultant and broker—professional cooperation with an eye toward oversight, best practices in risk management, and cost reduction results are the goal.
Great question! Our services are directed toward the busy executive who has the responsibility for handling the insurance on behalf of their organization and is interested in covering all bases when it comes to protecting the assets of the company. They know they need to take a look at their options from a broader perspective, more strategic in nature, and with the long-term in mind. Premier helps clients take on complex problems and lead them through a process to improve their business outcomes from an insurance and risk management perspective.
There has NEVER been an engagement where Premier Risk did NOT uncover a gap or serious risk in insurance coverage. Brokers are not equipped to delve this deep into your business nor should they. It is incumbent upon the business leader to do that.
Clients pay us a fee for our services. We offer several options:
Flat Fee: geared to a long-term relationship on the basis of being engaged as an "outsourced risk management" department providing 24/7 service, which takes the burden of managing insurance off of our client's shoulders. In addition, ongoing service ensures further cost reduction opportunities over a long period of time by continuing to work with client companies on other cost control measures, not just premium. Our retention ratio of 99% is a testament to the service, value and results we achieve year after year for our clients.
Contingency Fee Based Services: a combination of a retainer and contingency. The key is to be flexible in producing a return on investment for our clients.
Project Fee: One-time fee geared to specific work i.e. policy audit, risk assessment, claims review or similar type of work.
Risk management is an ongoing process and to effectuate long-term cost savings an insurance and risk management program must be approached in that manner.
Please contact us with any additional questions you may have 201-573-1100.
Our company engaged Premier Risk Management to assist us in determining if our overall broker relationship and lines of coverage were adequate for our business. They were referred to us by a top executive of a brokerage firm in Omaha. Premier assisted us with our renewal process which had to be publicly bid. They were able to advise us from a different perspective than our broker that we had always relied on in the past.
While on retainer, we had a major flood event. James King with Premier Risk was available every step of the way. He assisted us in navigating the submission of our claims to our carriers, the City of Omaha insurance carriers as well as FEMA. He was able to obtain reimbursement for expenses that we were doubtful would be covered. He was also very knowledgeable of the FEMA claims process. James prepared an appeal to FEMA for items that were initially denied and it was successful. With Premier's valuable assistance, we were able to receive full reimbursement for all damages.
We continue to rely on Premier for day-to-day insurance issues. They are always very responsive and their assistance is valued.
Lea D. French, CPA – Metropolitan Entertainment & Convention Authority
We would like to thank Premier Risk Management for your assistance and guidance relative to insurance and risk management issues in the healthcare industry and for being a source of information for our firm.
We understand the importance of obtaining independent and objective insight that a knowledgeable, professional organization like Premier brings to the table.
I am a firm supporter of Premier Risk Management and greatly appreciate the level of service they provide. I would highly recommend them to our clients and would welcome any inquiries.
Alan H. Perzley – Garfunkel, Wild & Travis, P.C.
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work and effort on our part. All of us at PRESERV have grown to appreciate the keen insight, advice and knowledge of our business and how it relates to the complex insurance world.
Besides saving us money in the marketplace, your advice in the areas of overall risk management and worker safety has refined our strategic approach to our business. I look forward to continuing our working together this next year.
Carl Culbreth – President, PRESERV Building Restoration
I can't thank Premier enough for their support in my current commercial insurance package renewal.
The smartest thing I did was to recognize that I was in over my head and that I needed expert advice. And that is exactly what I got – plus more.
This year's renewal was the most successful ever as a result of your efforts. Not only were you able to negotiate significant savings in premiums but you also managed to vastly improve the quality of my coverage. I will sleep a lot better now.
Laurence Needleman – CFO, D'Artagnan
It is always a pleasure for me to give a recommendation, especially when the person and organization involved is genuinely deserving of one. Such is the case with R. Scott Wolff and the team at Premier Risk Management LLC. The fact that Premier has saved our company significant amounts of money on our insurance program is merely a by-product to the comprehensive services they offer. Premier has demonstrated a tenacious desire to attain a "complete" insurance/risk management program for both the present and the future. They not only review the details and specifications of each and every coverage along with the cost factor, but more importantly, they anticipate the long-term positive ramifications of a "complete" risk management program and help the consumer custom-design and implement such a program. Premier has also reinvigorated our Safety Program and our Fleet Safety Program.
What I admire most about Scott is that he listened to us and took genuine interest in the complexities of our business and our industry. After listening and asking questions, Scott and his team did their research. Through this process, they were able to suit both the generalities and nuances of our business to a program which limits our liabilities and protects our interests and investments. It is my opinion that retaining Premier Risk Management would be both a profitable asset and a measurable dynamic to most any business!
Glenn F. Wolkovitsch – Asst. Vice-President Human Resources
I want to take this opportunity to thank Premier Risk Management for their guidance during our last insurance renewal process.
We are a group of companies that are involved in a number of diverse businesses each with different insurance needs. Our conversations have helped me tremendously to understand the issues that we need to address to fulfill our insurance needs and to protect our assets.
I have worked with insurance consultants before and I know of the value they can provide. Because insurance companies pay insurance agents and brokers, I have not always felt that they place our interests first. At times during my career, I have found that some of my previous employers have had insurance that they did not need. Of course, the agents earned money by selling us that coverage.
I do believe that because we paid for your time and expertise, we received full value by not only getting an independent analysis of our insurance coverage, but also an advocate for us in our negotiations with our insurance agent. I believe that I have a better understanding of our insurance coverage's than anyone has had in years. As an insurance neophyte, you have helped me to gain that knowledge and I would recommended your services to anyone with insurance needs.
Howard Berner, CPA – Financial Officer, Glenmore Management, LLC
Premier has been working with the Eastern Christian Children's Retreat, a nonprofit organization, as a Risk Management consultant.
Premier has been very helpful in obtaining a commercial package for us at a significant cost savings as well as providing additional coverage.
Premier is very professional and knowledgeable in the insurance markets. They are very thorough and spent a great deal of time examining our documents and discussing them with me in great detail. They communicated our needs to the broker and was persistent in obtaining the necessary information.
I would highly recommend Scott Wolff and his team and would welcome any inquiries.
Jayne Press – Executive Director, Eastern Christian Children's Retreat
R. Scott Wolff is a man of integrity who has a passion for his profession and for helping others. Scott and the team at Premier are experts in the area of insurance and risk management and have been a tremendous asset to our company.
They have provided us with invaluable insight and advice on insurance coverage and risk management issues. Their knowledge of the insurance arena helped us saved a very significant amount of money on our premiums while at the same time increasing our coverage limits.
I would highly recommend their professional services and Scott's book "Executive's Guide to Risk Management and Insurance – Reduce the Risk Boost Your Bottom Line" for valuable insight and expert advice.

Blood Vessel Disorders
Atherosclerosis, the thickening and hardening of arterial walls, may occur in many arteries. Cholesterol and other fats that form in the process obstruct the affected arteries and, at times, produce a thrombus, or clot, in them. Sometimes, these clots break away, especially from the heart, and embolize, or travel to some other part of the circulatory system, where they can block a blood vessel and prevent oxygen from reaching tissues.
A brain embolism can cause…

Medicare is a federal program that pays for certain health care expenses for people 65 years or older. If you enroll in the program you are required to pay deductibles and co-payments, but much of your medical costs are covered by the program.
Medicare is less comprehensive than some other health care programs, but it is an important source of post-retirement health care.
Part A = Hospital Insurance (Inpatient Hospital Care & Hospice)
Part B = Medical Insurance (Dr. Visits & Preventative Care)
Part C = Medicare Advantage (Private Insurance Company Coverage, approved by Medicare)
Part D = Prescription Drug Coverage
In addition to the coverage provided by Medicare, there is also Medicare Supplement Insurance, which is designed to help pay medical expenses that are not covered by Medicare. There are several different supplement plans and each serves a different purpose. Plans may vary depending on your state, age, health, and other factors. Securing this additional coverage will help you pay more of your medical bills, so that you will have little to no out-of-pocket costs to pay to doctors, hospitals, or pharmacies.
It's definitely something to consider, especially if you are on a fixed income. Dealing with the overwhelming medical bills that are an inevitable part of aging can be stressful. Having the peace of mind and knowing that most, if not all of this cost will be absorbed, is priceless.
News Insurance can help you put the best plan in place to safeguard you from the financial hardship that rising medical costs can bring.

Kyle Speedy Gregg was planning to join the 'big boys' league. He had enough preparation in the 'development' classes, savagely abusing his VTEC-propelled machine. It (his Honda EG) reigned in a league where it was superior. But, would it be adequate to ensure the continuation of his winning ways? Absolutely not!
So, B D Gregg and Brothers did what they always do – they went for a game changer . Remember when the Ford Focus WRC arrived on our sugar-producing shores?
B D Gregg and Brothers sought and acquired the machine they felt would effectively kill two birds with 1 stone - capsize the 'King's' ailing ship (TA 1) and shove the DTM TT-R into a permanent corner labelled DEFEAT. Kyle slept at the track. Miracles do happen!
It was not long before the sun shone brilliantly and we could all see that the Radical was an almost limitless, potent piece of kit. It waved victory-grabbing advantages that Ray Charles could see rather clearly. Kyle was poised to reign.
The 'King', an elder statesman is an elite tactician. He remained loyal to the diamond star until fate forced his hand. He jumped in a Radical. At the Independence of Speed his (the King) resume was laid bare for everyone's perusal. Aboard a machine he met a few days earlier the King was floating like a butterfly but stinging like a bee. Fans at Dover were intoxicated!
We await Doug 'Hollywood' Gore's machine. Even though he has not been on the track, apparently Doug has been busy orchestrating the demise of his adversaries, Kyle and the 'King'. Reports have indicated that Doug Gore has played a pivotal role in ensuring that the firefight will escalate exponentially. The mushroom cloud will be visible in Kingston!
In the beginning Kyle got one. The 'King', released from his shackles, by unforeseen circumstances, also snatched one. Doug has facilitated the appearance of another. In August, fans at Dover saw two. On October 16 they will see three!
The fireball of excitement will not be extinguished! Kyle vs the 'King' vs Mark Maloney? The magnitude of this match-up cannot be outlined here! Must-see-tv? No. YOU MUST BE AT DOVER RACEWAY!
Who will emerge the victor when the game of the Radicals is played at Dover Raceway?

Finnish manufacturer Amphion Loudspeakers continues its expansion into Asia, appointing Kicksound as an official distributor for the Hong Kong/Macau region.
This relatively young, but very promising distributor, meets Amphion's demands for professionalism and dedication to high-quality customer service and training. Kicksound is known for its deep understanding of sound production and technologies, offering not just retail services but consultancy in studio construction and sound design alike.
"We are pleased with this new venture with Kicksound. We see a team of highly-motivated professionals – musicians, sound designers, engineers, and sound artists – all with a passion for music and sound quality," says Michael Di Stasio, Amphion Loudspeakers' Representative for the Asia-Pacific region. "Hong Kong has a large and very dynamic film entertainment industry and is one of the world's largest film and television content exporters. So we are pleased to be able to provide the best tools for mix/mastering engineers, music creators, and producers – whether they are in the recording, broadcast, or home-studio."
"The characteristic of Amphion's loudspeakers is their highly resolving and natural reproduction," says Kawai Leung, Project & Sales Director. With the aim of providing the most natural sound to both home studios and larger commercial facilities, according to Leung, Amphion's product is the perfect fit. "The most stunning feature of Amphion's studio monitors is the design of the waveguide, which makes the 'point source' idea so noticeable – not just to us, but to our customers who instantly notice this effect. We think this merit means a lot to our market in Hong Kong, and it is good to have a new choice for engineers in Hong Kong," adds Leung.
Among Amphion's first users and keen proponents in Hong Kong is Simon Li from nOiz Studio. He is enjoying a pair of Two18 studio monitors with BaseOne25 system, and recently received Amphion's MobileOne12 kit to complement the larger siblings. "It's an absolute joy to work with Two18 + BaseOne25 – clear, detailed with a solid stereo image," says Simon Li. "The best thing is that the Amphions reveal 'the good and the bad' things in the recording so engineers can make a better judgment. Beautifully honest is not a marketing slogan, it's true what I feel about my Two18 + BaseOne25," he adds.
Kicksound, offer Amphion's complete portfolio of studio monitors and power amplifiers. The company has already commenced a series of demonstrations where sound engineers can listen and work with Amphion's speakers. For more information on future events, please check Kicksound's website, Facebook page or send an e-mail at [email protected].

The holidays are quickly approaching and with that, millions of kids and adults are sure to get new video games. But do you know the rating for each of their games, - are they age appropriate?
I remember giving my 3 daughters an array of video games through the years. I remember the glee they had when they unwrapped their first video game, the Nintendo Game Boy Classic. Now they mostly play video games with their Smartphones. With ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) I can easily see the level of games they purchase and play. Now that they are older they know how to select an appropriate rated game on their own. They know the house rules.
Are video games 'bad' for you? Check out this enlightening TedTalk by Jane McGonigal, a game maker. She brings insight into the way games can help us as a society.
So over the holidays, take the time to get to know the games you selected for your children - or that others selected for them. If you have questions check out these wonderful parent guides over at the ESRB site.
As an example, Monica Vila, owner of TheOnlineMom explains how to set up Parental Controls on the Wii as well as a variety of other popular video game boxes. Watch the ones that pertain to your household and be rest-assured that your kids are being monitored even when you're not in the vicinity!
Happy Holidays - and make sure your video gamers are safe and sound.

On the Thursday ESPN Radio broadcast of "Mike and Mike," former NBA star Charles Barkley said he is not a fan of Christmas.
He reasoned that since he is "black and rich" that "everybody" acts like they are a part of his family and asks for nice gifts from him
"When you are black and rich, everybody think they are part of your family. Everybody's a relative. Everybody wants a really nice gift. It's like your family members members. One year you buy them a house, the next year you buy them a car, the next year you buy them a sweater, they look at you like, 'You only got me a sweater.' They always want the gifts to escalate so you can never get them a sweater because you bought them a house the year before because they get pissed."
